Oh yeah. I for sure have it.
I have never bother getting treated for it, though. Adderral, when I take it, makes me feel like I'm actually in my mind. It's hilarious. It's a wonder drug for people who really need it. Unfortunately, it's an easy drug to abuse. Try drinking on it! Whoa. |

Hamas refers to it as academic steroids. But I golf better with it, bowl better with it ... drink better with it (as in, do less stupid shit because it keeps me in my mind). Better student with it ... better worker ... etc.

That was a similar path for me.
Never even thought about it growing up. Wasn't until 4 years ago that my wife brought it up because I was taking on so many unfinished projects at once and completing none of them. I was diagnosed shortly after seeing a doctor about it. Now I take a low dose of medication, and that's enough to boost my productivity by quite a bit. You'll find that as your body gets used to it, you stop having that "zombie" feeling and the effects will be less noticeable. I think a lot of people make the mistake of upping their dosage once that happens, but they don't realize that when you have ADD, medication alone isn't enough. You still need to make life changes that keep you on task, such as writing to-do lists and making use of a schedule/monthly planner, etc. That in combination with the meds is what makes a successful longterm solution. I kind of thought it might be fake before actually doing the research. It's definitely real, but I will say that I think it's probably overdiagnosed, especially among children. |

I'm not sure. The symptoms aren't so easy to define. I think many things get incorrectly diagnosed as SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!

Had to quit because I was developing an abuse problem. After a while, I became so dependent on it for everything that I was taking more and more of it. It was getting pretty bad. I'll probably go back on some kind of medication for ADHD at some point but it'll either be a different brand or a non-stimulant version. |

Yes. I took adderall and it made my heart rate skyrocket. I had accelerated energy and just started doing shit as small as cleaning bc I was so focused.
I don't take it anymore. I always have a to-do list which keeps me on track. I jog a few times a week as well. Excercise is great for ADHD. To me it's been better than medicine in some weird way

I definitely notice any day when I don't take the medication, but I don't feel completely helpless without it. And I suppose if you didn't notice a difference when you don't take it, it probably wasn't that effective in the first place. |
